Fine arts fest to stress 'performance'
By Cindy Daughenbaugh
The annual Fine Arts Festival,
beginning Friday, March 2, and
running through Wednesday,
March 21, will feature a wide
variety of performances of
music, drama, art, and literature.
Piano recitals, talks, slide discus-sions,
jazz concerts, art exhibi-tions,
and a musical are only a
few of the events taking place.
Many prominent men and
women will be appearing on cam-pus
for talks and performances,
as part of both the regular
festival and the Black Fine Arts
Festival. The two are being held
in conjunction with one another
this year.
The theme, "Performance as
Art, Art as Performance,"
speaks for all aspects of the
festival. There will be two piano
recitals, "An Evening of Jazz,"
concerts of contemporary music,
and a musical drama all taking
place in Westbrook Auditorium.
"The King and I" will run for
seven performances in McPher-son
Theatre. Harry Mark
Petrakis will give a talk on "The
Writer as Story-Teller," and on
another evening will give
readings from his works.
Dick Gregory, a famous
humanitarian and popular lec-turer,
will speak in the Memorial
Center as part of the Black Fine
Arts Festival. Also a probable
event will be the reading of her
own works by the poet laureate of
Illinois, Gwendolyn Brooks. The
contract is at this time under
negotiations, but Brooks is
scheduled to appear on Wed.,
March 21, at 7:00 p.m. This event
will be sponsored by Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority.
One of the more unique aspects
of the Festival's theme is that of
"Art as Performance." Several
young artists "using perfor-mance
as a.vehicle of expres-sion"
will be appearing at
various times in the Merwin
Gallery.
According to David Hirst, Fine
Arts Committee chairperson, the
only way to record this form of
art is by photography, since it in-volves
"spontaneous expression
in performance." Hirst described
it as "just amazing, really
bizarre."
The performer will have a few
objects set up beforehand to pro-vide
atmosphere, with some
designs planned ahead.
Sometimes the audience will
become involved. Because
photography is only an in-complete
method of recording the
performance, each artist will do
something distinctly his or her
own.
After the performances there
will be a panel discussion on the
topic with the group of artists.
They will answer questions put to
them by the audience.
Other events taking place in-clude
slide discussions and art
critiques. The Black Fine Arts
Festival is also featuring an all-community
disco, a movie, and a
gospel worship service. Both
festivals are planned for the
benefit of everyone, and are not
meant for fine arts students
alone.
Dick Gregory, comedian and
human rights activist, will be the
guest speaker at the Black Fine
Arts Festival which runs March 2
through March 21.
Gregory opens the activities
Friday when he will speak in the
Main Lounge.
"Twelve United," a music
drama by Kirby Gosnell will be
presented on Friday, March 12.
The drama depicts the life of
Jesus as seen through the eyes of
the Twelve Disciples.
Other activities planned for the
week include the movie, "Which
Way Is Up?", an all campus disco
at the Black Student Union, and
an exhibition of Afro-American
Art.
A Sunday worship service in
the Main Lounge will wrap up the
week's activities.

committee formed last fall after
the cancellation of three movies
drew protests from students.
Sources said this week that the
committee as a whole has not met
since the initial session
November 8.
When questioned last week
about the status of the commit-tee,
Buckley said that Ewald had
not yet contacted him about set-ting
up a meeting date. Buckley
later said that when Ewald
returned from his short term
course, he told Ewald to "call
me" in a couple of weeks.
But Ewald said Tuesday night
that SAC had not been formally
contacted about a meeting.
"Nobody told me anything about
it," he said.
Both Buckley and Ewald con-firmed
that the issue was not
dead and each said that he was
willing to pursue the matter.
Ewald said SAC will be "a little
more selective in movie choices
for next year and will "stay away
from X-rated movies." Ewald
said SAC feels R-rated movies
should not be censored. All three
of the films ousted last fall were
R-rated.
Last fall, administrators in-dicated
that three movies slated
by the Student Activities Com-mittee
for 1978-79 year were "in-appropriate"
and said the movies
would not be shown on campus.

students signed a petition pro-testing
the cancellation of A

Although the movie censorship
committee formed last fall has
not met since November, SAC
chairperson Ed Ewald and SAC
advisor Gayle Buckley have been
working on proposed guidelines
for SAC film selection.
Those guidelines include:
1. Reputation of the actor/ac-tress.
2. Theme of the film.
3. Film classification.
4. Reputation of the film.
5. Awards received.

Swichtenberg had met to
"discuss guidelines relative to

on this campus."
Swichtenberg also stated that

formed will continue to work in
